2004–2005 Peterbilt 387 recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain heavy duty trucks, the pivot bolts which hold the seat back frame to the seat cushion frame CAN loosen and possibly fracture or dislodge, causing the seat back to fail to provide full support to the driver.
💥 The risk
A possible vehicle crash could occur should the seat fall backwards during use.
🔧 The fix
Gra-mag will provide customers with repair kits which include instructions and parts to repair the seat. Owners should contact gra-mag at 614-875-8435 or peterbilt at 940-591-4201.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
